World College Radio Day is only one day away!
The theme this year for WCRD is “Hear It First on College Radio” and participating stations will explore and highlight how students create unique programming and content on college radio that is important to them and not heard on any other medium. It is often college radio that gives a spotlight to local stories and issues, as well as playing music that is new and innovative.
“Only on college radio will you hear music and programming you just can’t find anywhere else, and it’s the place where people take risks in what they play,” says Rob Quicke, founder of College Radio Day and Professor of Communication at William Paterson University in New Jersey.
There are over 500 stations across the world participating, but no one is doing the same thing. KTXT is celebrating with 24 hours of music, merchandise, and fun! We have a full schedule of exciting remotes, shows, and content to celebrate college radio and all its glory. Be sure to download the TuneIn app to listen from wherever you are, and come out to get some free stuff from one of our 3 remotes.
We will be giving away some hand-printed Dirk Fowler original posters, brand new KTXT t-shirts, stickers and some special prizes courtesy of our awesome partners for the event. Come out to support college radio, and be sure to follow us on social media for updates throughout the next 24 hours!
Below is our full schedule for the day:
